So if the rules are all still the same, I believe it's max 8 people per league, and we all have to be on at the same time to draft (otherwise if you're not there the system just auto drafts for you).

So we can try to pick a time when we're all free sometime in the next 2 weeks? (IIRC the draft doesn't take more than an hour or so?)

Not really.

It only seems "silly" because it's new and teams don't know how to play against it.

A smart team will pick up a strong pick right away and win games with it, but an even smarter team will think of counters and bait teams into picking the strong pick, which is what gravity just demonstrated beautifully.

Honestly I'm so happy to see TSM finally being abused by their strategy they've been getting away with for a very long time. They are no where near international level because other teams can easily abuse their 1 carry strategy.

Gravity, Liquid, and Impulse is what I would like to see for Worlds from NA if it's possible, with CLG next.

(I had hope for Dig but it's looking like it was just luck

But looking from an objective view it's easy to see TSM will not have a good international showing at all)

Someone had a theory yesterday and it might be true:

It's that Loco and Regi are putting so much pressure on the players that they've reached a point where they think "I don't want to do anything because I don't want to be the reason for a bad play/a loss etc" so everyone just plays so passive and waits to be carried by Bjerg.

Balls is bad though.

Edit: Let me rephrase that. He wasn't bad season 3/4. But I have no idea what has gotten to him because he's terrible right now. Like he provides nothing spectacular, and in fact has a lot of bad plays (and tends to get killed a lot). If you literally stick anyone like Cris right now they would achieve the same thing.

Yeah, gauntlet should be a lot of fun. I think TL will probably end up taking it. C9 can maybe come in swinging if they really improved over the past few weeks. I don't think TIP have a shot though. They didn't look good at all last time. Gate has a very low champion pool from the look of it, Impact is for some reason refusing to play carry toplaners (or management is forcing him), and Rush looks out of form especially with target bans on him (Some dude asked Rush when he was walking back to his hotel why he didn't play nidalee and Rush answered annoyingly "She was permabanned!").

I don't think GV can win either. I just don't see them being able to cheese enough games to win.

Ser Arthur Dayne · Post Post #4547 (isolation #66) » Sat Aug 29, 2015 9:49 am

Man Hauntzer is pretty good!

Maybe, maybe not. It's hard to tell what constitutes a "good" shen.

But he is definitely by no means "amazing" on the champion. Partly because the CHAMPION isn't amazing for TIP's style.

Edit: I also think the champion is kinda bad because the only thing he brings to team fights is an unreliable taunt on a long cd. And in this meta of teamfighting with Viktor/Azir he just does very poorly.

Ser Arthur Dayne · Post Post #4607 (isolation #75) » Sun Aug 30, 2015 5:18 pm

The problem with C9 is that Sneaky and Incarnation are the only ones who are current LCS level mechanical wise. Hai can provide nice shot calling, so he's useful. Lemon I guess helps out with pick and ban and umm plays Karma to help people and stuff???

Balls I can't even see what's he's bringing to the team right now. Even when they win he still doesn't look good.

Ser Arthur Dayne · Post Post #4612 (isolation #76) » Mon Aug 31, 2015 7:08 am

I generally agree with Zor.

I personally think Fenix is head and shoulders above Incarnation, but I don't think Piglet is that much better than Sneaky. (Not that Piglet is a bad player, but in the sense that Sneaky is also such a great player and knows the adc role inside and out). That said, Incarnation will probably play a safe laner, so lane will probably go even.

The biggest discrepancies will be Quas outplaying Balls by a huge mile and Xpecial making plays late game while Lemon is incapable of playing playmaking supports.

Ser Arthur Dayne · Post Post #4613 (isolation #77) » Mon Aug 31, 2015 7:10 am

If C9 make it worlds though I have a hunch that they'll move Hai to support, bring in Meteos, and maybe make Lemon do pick/ban phase.

Edit: (Because there is no way Hai stands a slight chance in the jungler role on a Worlds level).
